Any other topic in speech processing
This position is open to applicants from the UK (who would be fully funded) or from the EU (where the funding would cover fees only). See this list of topics of interest but we also encourage applicants to discuss their own proposals with us.

If you are classed as "overseas" for fees purposes (see definition of "overseas") then you must apply by the start of December. This is because you will require additional funding (usually this means an ORS award). Please complete and submit a formal application (see "General information..." below for details), and also send an email to admissions@cstr.ed.ac.uk to tell us that you are applying.
If you are not an "overseas" student, please apply as soon as possible, and normally not later than the end of March (if this deadline has passed by the time you read this page, contact us to find out if it is still worth applying).

There are several Masters' programmes which act as excellent preparation for speech and language research.

The European Masters in Language and Speech is a scheme supported by ISCA and EACL which has approved the MSc in Speech and Language Processing (See the Programme Handbook for more details).
